Description:
The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) was created at a 44-nation conference at the White House on November 9, 1943.

Description:
In the 1960s, the International Tracing Service (ITS. Now Arolsen Archives) in Bad Arolsen, Germany wrote letters to mayors and other officials of West German counties and towns, requesting lists of Jewish inhabitants in 1933 and the fate of these Jews, if known. The resulting I.T.S collection (1.2.5.1) includes reports created by these local towns.

The information on each individual varies in detail. In almost all cases, dates and places of birth, as well as dates of death, where known, are listed. (In some cases street addresses were provided, but these have not been entered into the database). Where it was known that an individual had been deported, this is noted, though a check of other material indicates that the compilers were not aware that many persons on the lists had been deported. Accordingly, researchers should always check other sources of information, such as the German Government's Gedenkbuch, before concluding that a person had not been deported.
